As pediatricians, sports medicine physicians and a public health expert, we advocate, support, and care for all children regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, sex, country of origin or ability status. We fight to better the lives of all our patients and their families. We oppose discrimination in all forms, including against transgender youth.
A wave of state legislation making its way through the United States targets transgender youth and the physicians who care for them.
Legislation has been passed in the Florida House that would ban transgender girls from playing sports with other girls.
